It's best to configure with `--disable-gracket', which skips the build of the GUI binary. That way, your installation will have a complete set of documentation of libraries, though it will also include DrRacket libraries that won't be useful.
To get a distribution analogous to the old "MzScheme" distribution, go to http://download.racket-lang.org/ then follow "installers" and then "Racket Textual", which will get you to "racket-textual-5.0-src-unix.tgz". The Racket Textual distribution omits documentation and some other non-GUI libraries, but it may be what you need.
